The former solution would be an improvement, but probably still very slow
unless there's a command-line option because emacs does a lot of this
network handshaking at startup, which makes it unbearable just to wait for a
prompt.
The latter solution sounds like it might work better.
My intuition, FWIW, is that neither of these is really the right long-term
fix. Even if I was using the "X input method" (I assume that's what xim is),
I don't see why emacs should be shuffling fonts, etc., for every .el file
that gets loaded.
